I believe I read here that there was some hurricane damage at Belize, or maybe San Pedro. I vacationed at Bon Aire about 3 months after hurricane Lenny (?) hit the island, and the place was just recovering and the folks there were sullen and damn near 85% of the dive sites were ruined and in general it wasn't what we expected...I guess caveat emptor should've been my guide, but I just didn't think to ask. So, has there been any hurricane damage in Belize, and if so how extensive was it? Thanks for your help.

Jerrico - well, I guess it has something to do with not wanting to find the same situation I stumbled into at Bon Aire. I don't expect to find a small duplicate of the States in Belize, I just don't want to find another Bon Aire. Caveat emptor. And, it doesn't look or sound as though there is much of a problem there. I've had the place in the back of my mind for years....I wonder if it's possible to retire there? I can explore that idea once I get there! Anyway, thanks for your response.

We had a lot of damage, but most all is looking good as new, no sullen people here, everyone is in a good mood, comes from living in paradise. Come on down, the diving is great and the parties never stop.

Mike...if you want the States, stay home. I'm sorry if that sounds really nasty and I don't mean it as such, but if you are going to worry about all of the things you list...why leave the States?

I agree Jericco, "Mike the Cat" you need to relax, you'll find have more to worry about in California and Florida than you do Belize.
Take a deep breath, and adventure or go to Florida.
